Chapter 691: Chapter 0441: I Want To Challenge You_2 Chapter 691: Chapter 0441: I Want To Challenge You_2 Jin Jin was not affected by the flying dagger. His fist remained unchanged, hitting Lu Chao’s defensive barrier.

This time, Lu Chao’s defensive barrier couldn’t withstand the blow and shattered. Jin Jin’s fist was full of close to half of his True Essence, directly hitting Lu Chao’s body.

Without the protection of a defensive barrier, Lu Chao’s physical body was as fragile as paper. Jin Jin’s punch took away half of Lu Chao’s life. All of his ribs broke, with bone fragments sticking out of his flesh. Blood spilled from his mouth and nose, he fell to the ground and couldn’t get up.

Taking a step forward, Jin Jin reached out to gouge Lu Chao’s eyes. He had no mercy for the severely injured Lu Chao. When Lu Chao chose to act ruthlessly, he should have considered today’s consequences.

“Stop.” A soft rebuke sounded from deep within the Four Seas Bank, intending to stop Jin Jin.

But Jin Jin didn’t heed her. Until Qi Tian spoke, Qi Tian’s previous statement was the highest command, he didn’t dare to alter Qi Tian’s orders. If he didn’t follow Qi Tian’s directives, he wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences. By that time, he might not even need Qi Tian to act. Gao Jinmei would rush to beat him severely, possibly even killing him, all in eagerness to earn more merits. She would never let this opportunity slip away.

Jin Jin’s fingers touched Lu Chao’s face. Blood splattered as Lu Chao’s painful scream echoed. His hands instinctively covered his eye sockets. The broken ribs pierced his lungs, making his speech breathless. “My eyes, my eyes…”

Jin Jin looked at the two bloody lumps in his hand. “Master, I checked, they’re not human eyes.”

“Oh, not human eyes after all. No wonder he took the real silver notes as fake. What’s the use of keeping them then? Destroy them.” Qi Tian nonchalantly said.

“Stop.” The soft rebuke sounded again, this time not simply heard but followed by a woman wearing a mask, walking out from the depths of the Four Seas Bank, wearing a long sky-blue dress, with a tall figure.

The female cultivator emanated an intimidating aura, seemingly not inferior to Gao Jinmei, startlingly another master at the third level of the Gold Core Realm. Her eyes glinted with cold light. “You are quite audacious, to defy my commands again and again. Today, you are going to pay the price.”

Gao Jinmei sensed danger, her body suddenly tensed up. She felt that this was a Gold Core cultivator possibly stronger than herself.

Jin Jin also felt the intimidating aura from this female cultivator. He hurriedly dropped the things in his hands to the ground and assumed a defensive position. He had never expected a branch of the Four Seas Bank in a tiny place like this to produce a third level Gold Core Realm female cultivator. It was like a divine dragon jumping out of a small puddle.

The female cultivator looked at Gao Jinmei and Jin Jin with disdain. She didn’t see them as a challenge at all. Confident in her own strength, she believed she could easily dispose of both of them, even though both of them were Gold Core cultivators. One with cultivation identical to her own. This self-assurance was born from countless times surpassing her own cultivation level.

Qi Tian raised an eyebrow. It seemed they had provoked a formidable opponent. The female cultivator didn’t seem to be taking Gao Jinmei and Jin Jin seriously at all. Either she was arrogant, or she had real ability. Qi Tian inclined to believe the latter, he didn’t sense any arrogance from her, only absolute calmness.

“Gao Jinmei, you go first, and if something goes wrong, I’ll take over,” Qi Tian didn’t rush forward to fight the female cultivator. After all, who else would he use if not his subordinates?

“Yes.” Although Gao Jinmei was a bit uneasy, she still obeyed Qi Tian’s order and charged forward. In an instant, she had prepared a series of lethal moves, according to her experience. She couldn’t guarantee she could kill the female cultivator but thought that injuring, even severely injuring her should be doable.

However, the development of the situation soon proved that Gao Jinmei had underestimated the female cultivator. She had reached her maximum speed, approaching the female cultivator in the blink of an eye, and wielding her dagger towards her vital parts. Unexpectedly, the female cultivator was even faster, avoiding Gao Jinmei’s attack before it arrived.

The female cultivator dodged Gao Jinmei’s assault with exceptional agility, like a wisp of smoke. Moreover, she continued at that high speed, lunging towards the nearby Jin Jin.

Jin Jin had been on high alert but still got flustered on her approach and had a bit of a hard time coping. He panickedly retreated while reaching for his weapon in his Storage Bag. He could ignore half-step Golden Core Lu Chao, but facing this mysterious female cultivator is a situation he dared not to take lightly.

The female cultivator was incredibly fast. She drew a dagger and swiped it towards Jin Jin’s throat.

Though Jin Jin was retreating as he reached into his Storage Bag, his speed was a tad slower. He could only watch as a blade of the cold blade approached his neck, murmuring internally, “It’s over for me.”

However, just at that moment, Qi Tian made a move. How could he possibly turn a blind eye to Jin Jin’s peril? After all, he was his Gold Core Stage Immortal Slave, and obtaining one had been quite an ordeal.

Qi Tian delivered a side kick, landing it with great power at Jin Jin’s hips. That one kick knocked Jin Jin flying, just enough to avoid the blade that the female cultivator swung towards his neck.

Jin Jin rolled on the ground and before he even got up, he took out several Defense Talismans from his Storage Bag, frantically slapped them onto himself like they were worthless. Not long ago, in Chi Huo City of the Chi Di, when he faced Qi Tian, he too had felt like death was imminent but this time, it’s even more intense. He could truly feel that it was a close brush with death.

“Slut! Your opponent is me.” Gao Jinmei felt utterly humiliated. Her attack was easily avoided by the female cultivator who even had the audacity to strike at Jin Jin without considering her, and almost succeeded. This was a severe humiliation to her. An arrogant person like Gao Jinmei couldn’t bear it.

To everyone’s surprise, the female cultivator didn’t even give Gao Jinmei a glance. Instead, she stared intently at Qi Tian. His kick just now was perfectly timed and executed, saving Jin Jin. She was curious whether it was a coincidence or Qi Tian’s genuine prowess.

To the female cultivator, Qi Tian was a total stranger. She hadn’t met Qi Tian before or heard of his deeds. This intrigued her because, in such a small place as the Great Zhao Nation, it was improbable for formidable characters to emerge, even if there were, they’d be unlucky to encounter her, as she wouldn’t hesitate to send them to meet Yama.

“You,” the female cultivator pointed at Qi Tian and declared, “I challenge you.”
